Daily Doings Of A Dog Named Dakota, Let The Barking Begin!

As you know, Dakota is a greatly loved dog, but like any dog, or maybe MORE than any dog, he has his quirks. There are two things that just the sight of sends him into a frenzy….one is cooking spray. Doesn’t matter who the manufacturer is, but when he sees me take the cooking spray out of the cupboard, it makes him go nuts!

The other is BUTTER. Butter in any form. It can be spray, in a tub, stick. You open the fridge and BOOM…..the Tasmanian Devil is released.Just spelling the word B-U-T-T-E-R can send him into a full-blown bark-fest!

I wasn’t able to get video of Dakota’s reaction to butter, but I was able to get a short video of his reaction to cooking spray. Oh and for some who might ask, NO! Dakota has never been sprayed with cooking spray! I think it is the sound of the spray, that irritates him, who knows? Could just be he doesn’t like the color yellow.

Of course Daddy ruined Mom’s fun by telling me at the end not to work him up.

Freighter has been wanting to attack the vacuum. Not sure why all of a sudden. So I am desensitizing him. I left it just sitting out for a week. Then when I vacuumed on Saturday, I left him out of his crate. Eventually he started paying no attention to it. We are going to do more of this. I would like him to get his CGC so he has to be OK with the vacuum.

You didn’t know that he IS “crazy???” lol. I can understand the sound…but…what about the SILENCE of opening a TUB of butter in the fridge? He sees the butter container and does the same thing. Guess he is watching his cholesterol lol love, Mom

How cute , he is like a “barking twister”. I’m glad for the link – now I know what cooking spray means. And now I know why they call europe the “old world” – I’ll bet in our stores they never heard about it. But I think cooking spray is great ;o)

Hmmmm, me thinks its the SMELL, Butter, buttery spray….
Cinnamon goes nuts over all kinds of things, but mostly other dogs. She does not bark at them when she goes past their house, but when they is walked past ours!

lol! I think because it is spray it is “cholesterol free” You sooo made me laugh when you said Beckett “doesn’t like when you rake the leaves or shovel snow”…Shelties are soooo picky with what they like and don’t like! Love, “Mom”

You do great, Dakota! I never like those ‘sprays’ either. They are irritating and they hurt our delicate ears. I don’t know what BUTTER is but I do love CHEESE. Aren’t they the same as they have the same colour though?

That’s right Eva! they hurt our “delicate ears!” Yes cheese and butter are the same color but I have never had a piece of cheese. I must say something to Mom about that. Of COURSE you bark and spin like me! We were made for each other! Barks and licks and love, Dakota
